Senators, as you may recall, at the sitting of the Senate held on Tuesday 19th March, 2024, the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Aaron Cheruiyot MP, rose on a point of order seeking the intervention of the Speaker on the submission to Parliament by the Controller of budget (CoB) of the reports on the implementation budgets of the national and county governments. In the point of order, the Senate Majority Leader highlighted that from previous practice, quarterly reports on implementation of the budgets of the national and county governments submitted to Parliament by the CoB were made available to Senators in their designated pigeon holes. The Senator further stated that in the recent past, he noted a deviation from the established practice expressing concern that the lack of submission of the reports by the CoB was hindering the Senators’ ability to effectively fulfill their oversight function. To this end, the Senate Majority Leader sought the guidance of the Speaker to require the CoB to resume submission of the quarterly reports to the Senate."
